Gestalt therapy seeks to increase the individual’s knowledge and awareness of self and personal choices. Along the road the client experiences delightful “ah-ha!” moments as well as painful and frustrating moments of awareness. The therapist does not give answers or advice, but is there to assist the client towards insight and new awareness. Only by becoming aware of one’s own behavioural patterns can a person choose, whether to continue like before or make a change. The therapist supports and encourages the client while they take steps towards the new and unknown.
